NURSERY-CHAIR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 326,110, dated September 15, 1885.

Application filed May7, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, MIKE M. GoooH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jefferson, in the county of Rutherford and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Nursery-Chairs; and I do declare the-following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in nursery-chairs, and has for its ob ject to provide a chair in which the fender can be easily operated.

It consists in certain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangements, which will be hereinafter described, and pointed-out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is a plan view of a chair provided with my improvements;

same, part of the device being broken away in Fig. 3, and the several positions of the fenderbeing indicated by dotted lines in Figs. land 2. a

A represents the chair, which may be of any desired size or construction. The fender for holding the child in the chair is composed of a front cross-piece, B, and two arms, B B. The cross-piece rests on the arms of the chair and against the upper ends of the front chairlegs, as shown in Fig.3. Where so desired, a play-table may be secured to the cross-piece B, but for convenience I do not show such a device. The arms of the fender are extended backward and slide through collars pivoted on the chair-posts'and have buttons B B pivotally secured to them at ornear their ends. 0 are the collars through which the arms of the fender slide. Their inner sides have an extension, 0, by which they are pivoted to the chair-posts, as will be understood from Fig. 1. Their outer sides are formed with a slight depression in their back edge to correspond to the end of the button, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

My device is simple, and its construction will be readily understood from the above deshown by the dotted lines in Fig. 1 and the horizontal dotted lines in Fig. 2, when the button is released from the collar in order that the fender may be drawn as far forward as possible. The fender is then raised to the position shown by the vertical dotted lines in Fig. 2, when the child can be placed in the chair, and the fenderlowered and secured by turning the button back to the position shown in full lines in Figs. 2 and 3.

The advantages of my device are obvious, as it is simple and cheap in construction, and can be easily operated.

Having thus described my invention,what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. The combination, with a chair, of collars pivoted to two of its supports, a fender consisting of a cross and side bars, the free ends of the latter passed through said collars and adapted to slide therein, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination, with a chair, of collars ,pivoted to its supports, a fender the side bars of which pass loosely through said collars, buttons pivoted to the side of said bars in rear of. the collars toengage the latter, substantially as described, and for the purposes specified.

3. The combination, of a chair, collarshaving arm-extensions by which they are pivoted to the rear supports of the chair. a fender consisting of a cross and side bars, the free ends of the latter passed loosely through the collars, buttons pivoted to the sides of the fenders, side bars in the rear of the collars and arranged to enter a depression in the side of the collar when the fender is in a normal position, substantially as shown, and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MIKE M. GOOCH.
